“It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me,” (Gal. 2:20).
When we say “yes” to Jesus everything changes. In a profound new teaching, Rabbi Kirt Schneider discusses why Christians are now to live in a different reality, ascending to one guided and directed by God’s perfect light instead of the encroaching darkness of this world.

Each of us experiences life uniquely, shaped by our own reality. But as we grow in the spirit, we slowly break free from the strongholds that once bound us.
For some, like Rabbi Kirt Schneider, that stronghold was anger. At first, the anger seemed justified—fueled by blame and self-righteousness. But as the Holy Spirit brought conviction, he recognized the need to resist. Through spiritual warfare, he gained strength. With each battle won, he walked into deeper peace, greater love and brighter light.
“I had to build strength in the Spirit by resisting,” says Schneider. “God has called you and I out of darkness into His marvelous light.”
Jesus calls us to be overcomers. Revelation declares that those who conquer will inherit God’s promises. This is no passive faith—it is a daily battle against the world, the flesh, and the enemy. Yet, with every step forward, our perception of reality changes as we experience more of God’s presence.
As we overcome, we are transformed, reflecting more of Christ. So, press on with boldness—there is always more of His glorious light ahead.
